Overview Of The Formula E Circuit Location, PSI's Sleigh Feet Drops Into The Ground

PSI chairman Giring Ganesha inspects the location of the Formula e circuit in Ancol/private DOK

JAKARTA - PSI DPP General Chair Giring Ganesha inspected the location of the prospective Formula E circuit in the Ancol area, North Jakarta. At the location, Giring's feet even fell into the ground.

At first, while walking around, Giring recorded a video showing himself on an empty stretch of land that will be used as the circuit for the electric car racing event.

Observation of Giring, the location is soft soil partly overgrown with grass. Piles of mangrove roots are also visible at some points. Giring also saw the goats looking for food.

Giring admits that he is surprised that the DKI Provincial Government is still confident that it can hold Formula E. This is because the implementation day is only five months away, while the circuit has not yet been built and the location is considered unsuitable for a racing car track.

"It's crazy that this is a Formula E project, isn't it. A very ambitious project. A big budget, using public money, and very short preparation time. I'm not sure that this circuit construction could happen. If it happened, it would have been forced. -Shame on the name of Indonesia, it's in the eyes of the international community," said Giring in a video uploaded to his Twitter account, Wednesday, January 5.

Giring predicts that the Formula E circuit cannot be used properly. Considering that this location used to be a swamp and was once used as a dumping ground for mud from various DKI Jakarta Provincial Government projects.

"How come, only five months left, Formula E, the circuit is still like this. Really not ready. It seems impossible next June can be used properly. Obviously this event is problematic in all respects," he said.

While still holding the cellphone to record video, suddenly the sleigh's foot fell into the wet ground. He seemed to have a hard time getting his legs out. Until finally, he managed to get out of the "suction" of the mud with the help of others.
